Massage oils for Aromatherapy consist of an essential oil, or oils blended with a suitable carrier oil. Massage has a powerful effect on the body and the emotions, combined with the therapeutic qualities of essential oils massage can be a very invigorating or deeply relaxing experience.
Below are some of our suggestions for blended massage oils to relax or revive.
Envigorating Citrus Massage
Blend 3 drops of bergamot essential oil, 2 drops of peppermint and 1 drop of lemon in 20mls of sweet almond oil (2fl oz). Bergamot has an uplifting citrus aroma and balsamic overtones, this blended with the stimulating 'coolness' of the peppermint and the citrus 'tang' of the lemon oil produce a wonderfully uplifting massage blend.
Envigorating Lavender Massage
Blend 2 drops of Lavender with 2 drops of orange and 2 drops of peppermint with 20mls of Sweet almond oil. This blend is a 'cooling' envigorating mixture with the floral scent of the lavender combining with the lively peppermint and the warm orange oil. An envigorating massage experience.
Relaxing Massage
Three drops of Sandalwood and one drop of chamomile blended with 20mls of sweet almond oil. A relaxing blend with the relaxing tones of the sandalwood and the 'fruity' tones of the chamomile. An ideal massage blend to unwind with at the end of the day.
Carrier oils for massage
The best results are achieved when the essential oils and carrier oils are blended just prior to use. A massage will use between 10 and 20ml of oil, about six drops of essential oil blended with an appropriate carrier oil. |
